Cate and LLEG go way back to a point where Cate would have had much to lose without continuing forward. Cate had a history only of receivership with lleg that was quite cleverly hidden by lleg through a lawsuit quieting much of the town of Ellicottville from daring to say a word at the time, and a drafted Berlin power purchase agreement in place. And Berlin was to be a large project far more enticing to a lion's risk on bedding down with weak prey.
Susanville is a horse of a different color without any sister Cate already dragged into an unfortunate marriage, with a SEC investigation, and a token payoff from Berlin that doesn't really shed much light as to any prize for what lleg claims was their baby.The risk factor, in comparison to pay day, is significant in this day and age based on a readily available track record full of people that have felt they've been burned over the past ten years from vendors to investors.
Also absent from Susanville, or anywhere else other than Berlin's exposure are the array of prs anyone could find by googling the internet on Berlin's project. The interest in Laidlaw just doesn't seem to be hitting the media at all any more, and investor activity is as slow as the days that go by waiting for any positive news.
